When it comes to reusing waste, glass is one of our favorite recycled materials. The most obvious aspect that we like about it is that it is truly recyclable. [...] We define reclaimed wood as material that has already had a life of use, but that is not necessarily unusable. So, reclaimed wood can come from the deconstruction of any type of building (be it barns, sheds, factories, houses of worship), or from more unusual sources such as sail boats, stadium bleachers, furniture, sport court flooring, rail road lines, wine tanks, city water tanks, carriages, crates, shipping containers, etc. [...] While we love renewable sources, one of the healthiest approaches to all wood products is to enjoy them while avoiding the felling of more live trees in the process. Thus, we are absolutely fascinated by salvaged wood. What is that exactly? [...] Not too long ago, we were looking for a unique wood product to use in two of our projects. Constantine Commercial brought to our office the Mesquite End Grain tiles, and we fell in love with them. [...] Three years ago, when we started thinking about developing our own green materials library, we didn’t know what we would find. Today, we have an amazing and eclectic collection of sources, manufacturers, and suppliers. |
